FALL RIVER – Glassman Services Inc. has expanded into the Fall River area. Doug Glassman, owner of SERVPRO of Dartmouth/New Bedford and SERVPRO of Marion/Middleboro, has acquired the Fall River territory following the news of longtime owner Walter Paiva’s retirement. The two closed the deal this past Thursday with all three franchises now operating under Glassman Services Inc.

Born and raised in Dartmouth, Glassman left the area in 2000 to pursue a bachelor’s degree in business administration from the University of Massachusetts Amherst. Upon receiving his degree, Glassman began working for a Fortune 500 company in Greater Boston, with a focus primarily in logistics analysis and operations management. Knowing he had also wanted to be a business owner, Glassman sought higher education at Nichols College during this time, and obtained his Master’s Degree in Business Management.

Within the past five years that Glassman has owned the SERVPRO of Dartmouth/New Bedford and SERVPRO of Marion/Middleboro franchises, he’s shown strong leadership and business management skills by more than doubling their size and revenue. The Glassman Services Inc. franchises are already extremely active in local area chambers of commerce, including the Bristol County Chamber, South Coast Chamber and Cranberry Country Chamber.

Founded in 1967, SERVPRO is the premier emergency disaster cleanup and restoration company. In addition to cleaning up after fire and water damage, they also specialize in mold remediation, crime scenes, vandalism, sewage backups and other biohazard related disasters. In addition to their disaster related services, some of their ancillary services include HVAC, air duct & dryer vent cleaning, carpet & upholstery cleaning and post-construction cleanups.
